What I learn

What I learn

I found all the group presentations a fun and exciting event, each one had their own unique way of involving us which goes to show how creative each one of our groups really are.

Adolescent Literacy: First off, being the first of anything is a tough job. The first has to set the standard and can’t even benefit from other group input. They are the pioneers. Asking us question to get into the mindset of adolescent literacy and involving the groups in a question answer pattern.

Hip Hop and Literacy: Rap, what fun thing to work on. Our activity of crafting our own rap song did two major things: it forced us to think creatively and made us work together.  It was interesting, the process of working together in a creative way, coming up with our own lines and building off others. The end product was cheese and funny but uniquely ours. To be honest, when the project was presented to us I had doubts on my ability to contribute but found it easy to build off our group.

Make/Hack/Play: Once again we’re put in a situation were we have to think creatively but this time we are to invent something for a particular problem. It teaches us to think outside the box and even, with the time limits and opposing groups, forced us to act under pressure.
